SAFETY-RAZOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 12, 1907. Serial No. 388,428.

duction of a novel, simple and e cient sa ety' razor of few parts.

Figure 1 isa lan view of one' of my novel safet razors; ig. 2 a side elevation of Fig. 1 100 'ng at the'same from the ri ht; Fig. 3 a face view showing the blade and b ade holder Fig. 4 shows the blade holder detached, and Fi 5 shows the blade detached. Y

. he handle of the razor comprises a hand piece A and a blade-sustaining portion A, the

" and piece being shown as bent between its ends to sustain clamping means B coacting with the blade holder C, said clamping means being shown as a screw to be herein further described. The hand piece also has a rojection D'constituting a 'de. The b ade E of thin steel sha ene at both edges has notches e at its en s, and the rear side of this blade is laid against the face of the bladesustaining portion A of the razor. The blade-sustaining portion is notched at its opposite ends as at a, a. The blade-holder is composed of metal and comprises a' central straight clamping portion a, a hook c at one end, and a leg 0 at its 0 posite end, said leg having a heel 0 The b ade-holding adjusting device is' shown as a screw, threaded at b to enter a threaded part of the hand-piece, and the outer end of said device has an annular groove 1) to engage said heel. The'outer end of the projection D has a groove to receive the portion 0 of the blade holder.

Afterlaying the rear side of the blade against the ortion A of the handle, the hooked end 0 o the blade holder is laid in one of-the notches e of the blade and into the notcha.

of the portion A, the sha e of the hook c bein such as to engage fili'mly said notch. The leg 0 is then passedinto the notch e at the opposite end of the blade, through the notch a, of the portion A, and into the ooved end of the projection D. When the lade holder is bein put into its position, the clampi means%3 occupies its outward position sot at the heel 0 may readily enter the groove 1), and as the 'clamping means is rotated, the groove acting on the heel draws the leg 0 inthe direction of the arrow Fig. 1, causing the portion 0 of the blade holder to be drawn so closely upon the. outer side of the blade as to clamp the same firmly on the blade-receiving portlon A of the handle.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A safet razor comprising a hand piece having 'a b ade-sustaining portion and a projection, said blade-sustaining portion eing notched at its ends, combined with a blade notched at its ends, a blade holder having at one end a hook and at its other end a leg provided with a heel, and clamping means en aging said heel and drawing upon the blade 0 der to clamp the blade 11 on the blade-sustaining portion of the han piece. 2. A safety razor comprising a hand piece Patented April 14, 1908.

having a blade-sustaining portion, a blade adapted to rest'against said blade-sustaining portion, means or positioning the blade thereon, a blade holder having at one end a hook and at its other end a leg provided with a heel, and clamping means enga g said heel and drawing upon the blade older to clamp the blade u on the blade-sustaining portion of the han piece.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
